Re: Any body know the difference between the old version and new version of Foxfire

Regardless of the app price and function, I think it is pretty slimy for a previous version of an app to "phone home" and determine it is not the latest version and then break itself until you install a newer AND crippled version...

It's slimy to want to be paid for your work? This guy is a superb programmer and I'm happy to support his app with my 7 dollars. Do you expect to get paid where you work? C'mon, I tipped my waitress more than that Saturday night.

He is taking away something that was already given. Do you routinely go and take back your Christmas presents you gave to people last year and say "that will be $7 please, or you can only use the present for 30 min?" Of course not.

There is absolutely nothing wrong with him changing his mind and making a new version that has limitations. But having quasi-spyware (phone home) in an older version that FORCES someone to upgrade which results in total loss of functionality until the upgrade and a major loss in functionality after the "upgrade" is....
